CHEERS TO ANOTHER YEAR

Life moves pretty damn fast, but content moves faster. It’s been a whole year of pulling interviews, videos and articles out of our asses on a weekly basis. And before the expiration date on this year passes entirely, we figured it would be a good time to pat ourselves on the back and revisit some of our favorite videos and scribblings from 2024.

So we dropped a little nutmeg and astral projected ourselves back 12 months to see what felt worth highlighting and sharing again each month of this year.

Thank you as always for checking out, commenting, spamming and supporting the site. Happy New Year everyone!!!

We’ll be fully back in office and putting out new content for y’all JAN 6.
